What is github-labels?

A reference list of the labels currently accepted in a specific GitHub repository. GitHub labels are tags used to organize issues and pull requests.

Use it when creating or classifying GitHub issues with labels for bugs, documentation, priorities, development phases, or project areas.

It prevents issue-creation failures caused by using a label that does not exist in that repository.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add elevanaltd/HestAI-MCP --skill github-labels

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/elevanaltd/HestAI-MCP

Made for: Claude Code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00021	$0.01000
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00400
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00200
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00100

Security

Grade A, and why

github-labels scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GitHub Labels Skill

Purpose

Prevents "label not found" errors when creating GitHub issues by providing agents with the current valid label taxonomy.

Valid Labels (Current Repository)

Standard Labels

bug - Something isn't working
documentation - Improvements or additions to documentation
duplicate - This issue or pull request already exists
enhancement - New feature or request
good first issue - Good for newcomers
help wanted - Extra attention is needed
invalid - This doesn't seem right
question - Further information is requested
wontfix - This will not be worked on

Document Types

adr - Architecture Decision Record
rfc - Request for Comments (deprecated per ADR-0060)

Priority Levels

priority:p0-critical - Blocking production or critical path
priority:p1-high - Important, should be addressed soon
priority:p2-medium - Normal priority
priority:p3-low - Nice to have

Development Phases

phase:b1 - B1: Foundation phase
phase:b2 - B2: Features phase
phase:future - Future consideration

area:mcp-tools - MCP tool implementation
area:governance - Governance system
area:ci-cd - CI/CD pipeline
area:agents - Agent system

Usage Pattern

Before creating a GitHub issue:

# 1. Verify current labels (labels can change over time)
gh label list --json name --jq '.[].name'

# 2. Create issue with ONLY valid labels
gh issue create \
  --title "Issue Title" \
  --label "enhancement,priority:p2-medium,phase:b1" \
  --body "Issue description"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
